RUM CARAMEL CAKE
Steps:
- For the cake:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 3 (8-inch) round cake pans with nonstick butter-flavored baking spray; set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat cake mix, rum, water, eggs, and oil on low speed with an electric mixer for 30 seconds. Scrape down sides of bowl and beat for 2 more minutes on medium speed.
- Divide batter evenly between prepared cake pans. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until tester comes away clean. Cool completely before icing.
- For the icing:
- In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter with brown sugar and rum extract. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add milk and bring to a hard boil. Stirring constantly, until sugar is completely dissolved; about 2 minutes.
- Let cool to room temperature and transfer to a medium bowl. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat in powdered sugar until smooth. If too thick, add a little milk. If too thin, add a little powdered sugar.
- Using an offset spatula, evenly spread icing on top of each cake round. Stack and ice the top of the cake. You may have frosting leftover.

CARAMEL-RUM SAUCE
Here is a sauce that is going to curl your toes up into heaven. You decide how to use it. Hot on ice cream, on hot apple pie, or even plain cheese cake. I used a dark rum, but maybe Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum could work also and kick it up a notch.

Steps:
- Combine sugar and cornstarch in a heavy saucepan.
- Stir in cream, water and corn syrup.
- Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly (mixture may looked curdled. Not to worry).
- Cook and stir for 2 minutes more.
- Remove from heat and stir in butter, vanilla and rum (have a shot for yourself).
- Let mixture stand at room temperature until cooled.
- Store in refrigerator for up to 2 months.
Tips:
- Use dark brown sugar for a richer flavor.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- For the rum caramel sauce, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the sugar from burning.
- Cook the sugar mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the sugar from crystallizing.
- Once the sugar mixture has reached a deep amber color, remove it from the heat and stir in the butter and rum.
- Allow the caramel sauce to cool slightly before pouring it over the cake.
